and it is late and I am all alone tonight. Leo’s off in Vancouver and Patrick made a trip to Saskatoon for his marriage preparation session. I’ve been out at a great concert. Now I should just go to bed. But I am thinking about tomorrow. I’m going to put a call in to North [...]

Memorable events
Last night Patrick asked me some questions about my marriage. He’s doing his own marriage preparation course/counseling so has this book/workbook that he is working through. One of the questions he asked was, “What was one of the most memorable events in your marriage?” I had no idea how to answer that one. Not because [...]

For the Master of the House
I have to tell you a funny story. I think even Leo will admit that it has some humor, ‘cause it is about him. But then he never reads this blog anyway. Leo travels a lot. And he has many meeting to attend in town. I hardly can keep track of exactly where he is. [...]

Today I survived
a compressor malfunction at the office. Dentists can’t do much without compressed air these days. So we ran way behind and had some people a bit irritated with us at the end of the day. Also had some extractions that took waaaaay too long, due to one tooth shattering each time we moved it and [...]

More Good Byes
Today we said good bye to Meg. Meg joined us one Sunday following a joint Good Friday service just after she had moved to Prince Albert. That Good Friday our worship group was leading the music. I still remember the day. I was still pretty fresh at playing my recorder in public and was pretty [...]

Its Blowing
We must have some weather change coming. It is blowing some sort of weather in from somewhere. It rained this afternoon and I was surprised that it did not comedown as wet snow. If we had snow we would be having a blizzard. While I was off serving at the Soup on Saturday, Patrick was [...]

I know what I’m getting for Christmas!
I picked it out myself – well sort of. Maybe it picked me. It was orchestra tonight and once a year the group has its annual meeting. That will be next week. While Dean, our conductor, was getting ready, I overheard him say, "We’ll have to sell our basses" My ears caught that remark. You [...]

Right now
I sort of wondered if posting this would just be too much of a revelation of how difficult it is to say good bye this time to these folks. And this in spite of the fact that I know it was right and good for them to go. Then, I thought, it is where I [...]

Happy Birthday
That actually was yesterday. I just did not have time to post this because I was up at his house eating cake that he baked. Chocolate – rich with chocolate chips too – and chocolate icing. I raised him well, eh? (Personally, I am not a baker, so I have no idea where he learned) [...]

Today was quite the Sunday
It was. And still has a bit to go before its over. There was so much grief and sadness wrapped in with excitement and anticipation. The adventure of new things mixed in with the loss of the old ways and customary things. Final – well not "final" is the true sense of the word but [...]
